Geoffrey Banks started the

The children's story had to do
with the miracle of Jesus turning
the water into wine. Rev. Banks
explained that a Jewish wedding

The search for the missing
gingerbread men has come to an
end. Each Kindergarten class found
its man with a note that said he had
had a lot of fun but now it was time
to eat him up, and they did.
Jean Ross assures us that she is
still in the same house in Seaforth.
Last week I had her living at
Maplewood Manor. Sorry about
that Jean.
Heidi McClure and Melva Fraser
opened the UCW meeting on Jan.
11 with devotions. Heidi read
scripture and Melva read a message
called, "Pearls of Wisdom". Marie
McGavin played the piano for the
hymns that were sung. Melva then
read a 'New Year's Thought' that
she had written.
The business part of the meeting
began and it was decided that the
group will hold a beef luncheon
and card games on Jan. 31, starting
at 11:30.
lasts for several days. The wine is a
very important part of the wedding
and if the wine runs out the newly
married couple arc very embar-
rassed.
It was made known to Jesus at
this wedding that they were out of
wine so Jesus had the servants fill
the jars with water.
Rev. Banks demonstrated this by
pouring water into a jar. He
continued talking and went up to
the pulpit and then returned with
the jar now holding wine, which
was actually still water to which he
added red food colod'r.
The sermon was called, "Gifts for
All". It was based on Paul talking
to the Corinthian Church about the
different gifts. The recognition and
appreciation of gifts was creating a
major rift in the church and Paul
was hoping to heal it. To Paul all
gifts originate in the same spirit and
are of equal importance. No one
person is blessed with every gift
but when everyone's gifts are
pooled together the mission of the
church can be made possible.
When we think of gifts today, he
said, ours may tend to be more
materially-based. For one thing, we
worship in buildings that require
maintenance, repair, and renova-
tions whereas in Paul's day, they
met in private residences.
So we appreciate the people with
gifts in carpentry, plumbing, and
heating.
Rev. Banks recalled a man in his
previous congregation who saw
maintenance chores as his main gift
to the church. He went on to name
many of the gifts that people have
and share with the church such as,
teaching school, singing in the
choir, visiting the sick and shut-ins,
bulletin-typing, quilting, etc.
Surely the spirit is at work in the
gift-giving of these folk, he said.
Rev. Banks finished with the call
to identify the gifts God has given
us for our life of faithfulness,
witness, and then make use of
them.
